Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention concerns a butter container that can hold a butter knife and a lid.

Generally, a container containing a butter knife and a container with a lid is used for packaging butter, and various ideas have been devised for this purpose.

The present proposal is to create a butter container that is easy to handle and can be sealed to the same degree as a container without a groove for inserting a butter knife, and that can be used to insert a butter knife and then close the lid after opening the lid. Its purpose is to provide.

That is, in this case, an annular engagement edge with an angled cross section is provided on the upper edge of the main body, a groove is partially formed across this annular engagement edge, and a groove is formed in a part of the annular engagement edge on the periphery of the lid body. An annular engagement edge having an angular cross section to engage is provided, and a horizontal part of the annular engagement edge fits into the main body groove at a rising part formed continuously with a horizontal extension of the top plate. The L-shaped left and right corners are tearably connected to the left and right side walls of the recess so that the bottom and the inner part of the recess can be integrated to form one on-off valve for the top plate. (into a butter container)
When packaging butter, the concave part of the lid body fits into the concave groove of the main body, so that the sealed state is maintained, and when the lid is opened, by tearing the concave part, a knife insertion opening can be made in the container, When inserting a knife into the knife insertion slot and closing the lid,
The bottom and inner part of the torn recess are joined to the lid body.
Since it remains, it forms a kind of opening/closing piece, and has the characteristic that it can also be used to close the knife insertion slot.

However, since the recessed part of the lid body is provided at the rising part where the horizontal part of the lid body is continuous with the horizontal extension part of the top plate, the inner part and bottom part of the recessed part can be integrally separated from the left and right side walls. When you tear it open, the entire part where the back was was opened, and the knife insertion slot opens on the side of the lid.
Since it is not opened above the top plate as seen in Publication No. 3, it has the feature that a knife can be inserted freely from the side even if there are contents in the main body.

In addition, if the opening/closing piece is torn by the tabs, tearing force is sequentially propagated from the bottom to the inner part due to the shape of the L-shaped tearing connecting parts at both left and right corners of the recessed part, making it easy to tear.

The embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIG. 1.2 shows the present invention 1, in which an annular engagement edge 2 having an angular cross section is formed on the upper edge of the main body 1.

Specifically, from the upper edge step portion 1a to the upright portion 2a, the horizontal portion 2b,
It is formed in an angular cross-section in which inclined parts 2C are successively arranged, and a bulging part 3 is formed in a part of the periphery of the upright part 2a.
When the bodies are stacked together as shown in FIG. 10, they engage with the horizontal portions 2b of adjacent engaging edges 2, preventing the bodies from coming into close contact with each other and making it easier to separate them.

1 has a deformed rectangular shape when viewed from above, and is molded from synthetic resin.

FIG. 3.4 shows a lid 4 molded from the same material as the main body, and the annular engagement edge 5 of the main body 1 is formed around the periphery of the lid 4.

Specifically, the periphery of the top plate 6 is formed with a downwardly inclined surface 6a, and an annular engagement edge 5 is formed rising from this, and this annular engagement edge 5 has an upwardly inclined portion 5a and a horizontal portion 5b.
and a downwardly sloped portion 5C, and a ridge 7 that engages with the sloped portion 2C end of the main body 1 is formed on the inner surface of the end of the downwardly sloped portion 5C.

A bulging part 8 that protrudes inward is formed in a part of the upwardly inclined part 5a, and when the lid bodies 4 are stacked together,
This bulging portion 8 engages with the horizontal portion 5b of the adjacent lid body 4 as shown in FIG. 11, thereby preventing the lid bodies from coming into close contact with each other.

In the illustrated example, a portion 6b of the downwardly inclined surface 6a of the top plate 6 is missing at the corner of the top plate 6, and is at the same height as the horizontal portion 5b.

In other words, the horizontal portion 5b of this portion is formed at a rising portion that is continuous with the horizontally extending portion of the top plate.

This flush portion 6b is provided with a recessed portion 10 that fits into a recessed groove 9 formed across the annular engagement edge 2 provided in the corresponding portion of the main body 1.

These are specifically illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 9.

The L-shaped left and right corner portions 11 of the recessed portion 10 are formed into tearable thin-walled portions that are connected to the left and right side walls,
Further, a tab 12 is formed on the outside of the bottom portion 10a, and a projecting edge 13 formed on the inner surface of the tab 12 is adapted to engage with the end of the inclined portion 2C of the main body 1.

Note that perforations may be provided in addition to or in place of the thin portion 11.

Further, the tab 12 may be formed as a part of the downwardly inclined portion 5C, and the projecting edge 13 may also be configured as one of the projecting edges 7.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the lid 4 is connected to the main body 1.
When the lid body 4 is placed over the body, the annular engagement edge 5 of the lid body 4 fits into the annular engagement edge 2 of the main body 1, and the bracket recess 10 fits into the groove 9, so that the sealed state can be maintained, and therefore the butter can be packaged. During the distribution process, the sealed state can be maintained sufficiently,
It can prevent dust, dust, etc. from entering.

Moreover, by tearing the opening/closing time recess 10, the entire inner part of the recess is easily opened, and the knife insertion opening is opened on the side of the lid.
A knife can be inserted into the main body 1 from the side using the recessed groove 9, and the bottom part 10a and the inner part 10b of the recessed part together constitute one opening/closing piece for the top plate 6. The knife can be inserted while the lid is closed, and even after the knife is inserted, a part of the knife insertion opening can be closed to prevent dust from entering, and the knife can be completely closed when the knife is not inserted. can be closed.

Further, by providing the projecting edges 7 and 13 and engaging the end of the inclined portion 2C of the main body 1, the lid body does not open easily, and the above-mentioned sealed state can be maintained even better.

As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention not only provides sealing by providing an annular engagement edge that fits into the lid body and the main body, but also provides a recessed portion and a groove provided in a part of them. When the lid is opened, the knife insertion opening can be opened on the side of the lid by tearing the recessed part of the lid, and the knife can be inserted using the groove. It has the feature that the lid can be covered, and the L-shape at both left and right corners of the recessed part of the lid makes it easy to tear these parts.
